Jon Stewart officially invited Elon Musk on “The Daily Show” after the Tesla founder posted on X last week that he would talk to the late-night pundit on air if his interview premieres “unedited.”

Stewart began his opening monologue by reminding the audience that he “made a bit of a critique” of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency during last week’s episode. He then took a jab at Musk’s familial drama before addressing his request for an “unedited” interview.

“After a prayerful week with my family — well, a family. It is a family hall pass situation,” Stewart said. “But after thinking about his offer, I thought, ‘You know, hey, that’s actually how the in studio interviews normally air. Unedited.’ So, sure. We’d be delighted. As a matter of fact, let me sweeten or unsweeten the pot. The interview can be 15 minutes, an hour, two hours, whatever. I’ll be honest, I don’t think this network makes any other programming. So we can do whatever the fuck we want.”
